PC WRmt: Operation When No Timer Available

ID: Q112907


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, version 3.2


SYMPTOMS

On startup (if you have chosen periodic or scheduled events), Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows tries to get a timer. If a timer is not available (for example, the Windows system cannot be acquired), Mail Remote for Windows disables time-based features and issues the following error message:

Can not schedule connection. Close down other time-based applications and restart mail
However, if you have not requested a periodic or scheduled connection, this error does not appear.


CAUSE

In the Session Setup dialog box, if a timer isn't available, periodic and scheduled options are unavailable (grayed) from the connection group. The error message only appears if you have auto connect set to ON in your <Windows_Directory>\MSMAIL.INI file.

Additional query words: 1.00 gray grey greyed
